How To Uninstall Windows Update KB2592687 On Windows 7 64 Bit

[Space Cowboy]

Hello,

I have been trying to uninstall this update all day and even with Googling and Disabling Windows from trying to push Windows 10 down to my computer I cannot seem to find a way to get it off my fairly new clean installation on my laptop. Can anyone help me get rid of it for good?

I would GREATLY Appreciate any assistance provided.

Thank You!

Thanks,

I have tried that and it just keeps coming back?

It must need something else uninstalled first?

Thanks for the reply!

What do you mean, when you say it keeps coming back?. Do you mean that it appears in the a new Windows Update listing or you cannot Uninstall it as suggested by MeOnMine, in Post #2.

If it keeps appearing in new Updates, right click on it & select Hide.

Yes, the update will not uninstall.

After reboot, I search for it again and it is still there.

I'll figure it out one way or another .. Once I decide to embark on a mission there is no turning back

Thanks Anyway

Uncheck "Give me recommended updates" as per this post:

To uninstall it launch an Elevated Command Prompt and type Powershell

Press Enter and wait for the PS prompt to appear then type:

wusa /uninstall /kb:2592687 /quiet /norestart - include the colon.

Press Enter.

It seems I typed too soon. Even with the above command, this update keeps showing up as being installed after a reboot.

So I'm still trying to figure out how to remove it.

Thanks For the help. Here is the link of updates I'd like to get rid of.

Hi,
You might verify your update settings are in order first and exclude Optional/ recommended updates from being mixed up with important updates,

Thanks,

I'll see if that takes care of it at my next reboot.

Just to clarify, when you say "include the colon are you referring to this? -

Nothing is working yet.
Even trying these commands in Safe Mode.

Do you really think it is worth going to all this trouble, when those updates are already installed on your computer. Also looking at the KB numbers it would seem that they have been there for quite a while, so anything that you are worried about has long since happened.

With the current world wide cyber security ransomware attack, it would be best to have all the Windows 7 updates installed. I always install all the updates & have never had any problems with them.

You may be correct. I really don't want any Windows 10 traces on my computer. I'm curious about what Microsoft is pushing down with all their updates and do like keeping up on all this stuff but I see your point.

Will see how things go tomorrow when I try and run Destroy-Windows-10-Spying in "Safe Mode" After I make a full backup tonight.

Thank You Very Much !!

Seems Cowboy you are trying to avoid W10 ?
If so one way that kept me and millions safe is still available and still working hard.

Google GWX and see Major Geeks and others also have it still and various comments

Good luck

The command is:

wusa /uninstall /kb:2592687 /quiet /norestart

You must switch to Powershell first.

Also try stopping windows update service (via Start > Run > services. msc) before running the command
